Re: Investing

Anyone do some 'wide moat' investing? I've got a bit of BerkshireHathaway but worried the arse will fall out of it once Buffet kicks it. I think I'll pull the trigger on the VanEks Wide Moat ETF. For your interest This guy follows Buffet quite closely https://youtu.be/wa35gfoVyuY?si=qtn3WvNs8DcnVClV

TBH, I thought the game was over.

I would have settled for a draw. Sometimes you get a lucky break. We got one.
